Happy New Year! 👋
Welcome to the first update of 2026! As we prepare for Next Fest, we are working on some larger features that will take a bit longer to complete. However, we remain committed to releasing new content every week.
It's been a while since we added a movement mechanic, so this week we're introducing the "back dodge". Now, if you press the dodge/slide button while standing still, the character will perform a backward dodge instead of dashing forward:
We've also added a new animated main menu background and a custom mouse cursor, along with a bunch of bug fixes.
As always, please share your thoughts on Discord and follow us on social media: https://linktr.ee/ballardgames
